Is there a way I can watch a DVD movie on my Pioneer AVIC-Z2 screen without having to put on my parking brake?

to watch dvds without you having to be in park you have to rewire the wiring to the deck. not the speakerwires or anything like that there should be a pink or orange color wire that comes from the harnest of the back of the deck anyway that wire is the only single wire in its own color besides (red yellow black) these are the wires that give power to your deck. all u have to do is take that one wire left over i think its orange in color and ground it (connect it with the black wiring. that should bypass the brakes from the deck n ypou can watch dvds as you drive but dont forget to also watch the road. :)

there is no way , the new radios now look at the gps antenna and it notice the vehicle is moving,
why you want to watch a movie and drive at the same time

just ground it to any part of the car

HAVE YOU EARTHED THE PARKING BRAKE LEAD, ? THIS IS TO STOP USE WHILE MOVING

i'm trying to install the avic z2 and the display say starting navigation sistem and it does not disaper am i doing something wrong

Apparently, you are not alone!

There are two ways to complete this project:

1st

underneath the mounting bracket of the radio not the brain theres a silver sticker like mentioned above there are two silver solder points right beneath the sticker it must be jumped with a wire or you can use the solder to connect the two contact points after this you must still ground the green parking brake wire to the car.


2nd-(also my favorite choice and the one I'm using on my N5 & on my 7800dvd those who know pioneer know what i'm talking about)

buy a ptr7 pheriphial device and wire as follows (they come factory ready to bypass alpine and pioneer units)

wire as follows-white wire to green parking break of the deck your bypassing
red wire to vehicles 12v source
green wire from device to remote
black wire to vehicle ground wire
final important step I know because this happended to me
make sure you take a little screwdriver agfter wiring or something and switch the
PTR 7 to the off position-or else this will make the PTR7 not function correctly

Ummm, its against the law for the driver of a motor vehicle to able to see the screen of a tv or dvd player while the vehicle is in motion! Dummy, watch the road!!!!!!!!

Run your parking brake ground throught a manual switch and switch it off before you turn off your car everytime. Goodluck.

I installed my pioneer avic z2 DVD/Navi myself and I realized that the wire that connects to the parking break is just a power wire that comes on when u pull the parking break. I think, all you have to do is to connect it to any other power wire that will be constantly provides the on power while driving. I'll try it out tomorrow and let you know!
